I love Bowie and Nirvana's version of this song. Bowie sang like he was telling the story of a guy who meet a man who sold the, as a kind of radio storyteller from the beginning of 19th century( whats make sense, since he is the writer of the song) and Kurt sang like he was the guy who had been face to face with the man who sold the world, as someone who impressed him so much that he can't forget. Perhaps, because of his state of mind at the time, Kurt had some sort of sadness in his voice when he sang it.

For example he was never invited for the songwriter hall of fame, different of many of contemporaries, i dont think he care that much, but It mattered to him more than any rock in roll hall of fame, so much so that he didn't even appear in his, and overall just fans who spend the whole stereotypical surface of (changes, fashion ...)

Bowie also died of complications of the liver - cancer. Together, they built David's career. Bowie admitted before he died that he would never have made it "big" without the work of Mick Ronson, a smalltown lad from Hull, UK. He was a beautiful arranger as well. Made John Cougar Mellencamp a star as well. Everything he touched was gold, except his own solo work. Mick was born to share his gift with anyone who demanded him. A complete guitar pioneer.

Around the time the Nirvana version was popular, some friends of mine and I used to shoot pool at this dingy little bar, with a billiards room in the back with about 8 to 10 tables, and at the far end was a long, wide, 70s jukebox with the 45RPM singles in it, and it was full of Classic rock. Included in the selections was David Bowie's "Space Oddity" as the a-side. Strange as it seems, "The Man Who Sold The World" was the b-side. Needless to say, as grunge fans raised on Classic rock, we regularly put money in the jukebox, and the Bowie version, the original, became a regular staple in our DJing session whenever we attended the place. It caused a lot of heads to crane in the direction of the jukebox, and a few people to wander over to it, and read the number-letter combination, to correlate it to where to find it on the track console. I'd kind of credit Nirvana for creating a renewed interest in a deeper-cut track in Bowie's catalogue.

i believe you need a certain level of estrangement and isolation from the world (or sanity) to perform this song, and maybe that's why lots of people actually prefer Nirvana's version but still massive respect for the genius that is David Bowie for writing this song

I like Bowie's recorded version, even the washboard. But this live version in this video is a bit ridiculous. It's like a freestyle stoner yoga ballet rendition. Kurt definitely delivered, and it was one of the best tunes of the unplugged, but it depresses the shit out of me now. I was 17 and he was a god. He was the only thing right in the world sometimes.
